    ...In February 1900 Ceannt, along with Edward Martyn founded Cumann na bPíobairí (The Pipers Club). Ceannt's musical talents earned him a gold medal at the 1906 Oireachtas and in 1905 he even put on a performance for Pope Pius X. It is said that the main language in the Pipers Club was Irish and played a role in reviving Irish music. ... From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89amonn_Ceannt Ed. - The Pope performance happened in 1908 (not 1905). It was the Pope's Jubilee in Rome.

    In Drogheda during the week at the Fleadh Cheoil I saw a number of young people playing the Uileann Pipes with gusto. Eamonn Ceannt and the late Seamus Ennis would have been so proud!

    Swordscookie Very few use the regulators these days. It’s a shame. I have an LP of Leo Rowsome. Mighty playing.
  • John A. Coffey said:

    John Spooner Love your note!

    This looks like the junction of The Quay and Charles Street.

    Googling: The JFK Dunbrody festival seems to be held every July. JFK visited in 1963, and The Dunbrody is a replica famine ship. I don't know what the New Ross summer festival was called in 1972, but something with JFK in the name is a good bet!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Indeed, if you go to that google maps link above and turn around, you'll see the statue of JFK unveiled by his sister in 2008!

    Pity the shot wasn't taken when the big drum was in view as the name of the band is traditionally put up on that! A Scottish band is unlikely and the one thing I can say categorically is that it was not the Limerick Pipe band as their kilts were traditional Irish saffron! The New Ross Pipe Band was formed in 1974 so it ain't them either.
